Omigosh, I am SOOOOOO extremely sooo very sorry for my lack of updates. Thank you for your patience (*snort* yeah right, I bet I woulda gotten flames if I delayed just one day more) and for your reviews. I'm happy, I got a lot!! Anyway, I suppose I should get on with the disclaimer. Disclaimer: I actually do own yugioh and all his characters! This statement is as true as stating the grass is naturally electronic pink.

Enjoy!

~Chapter Thirteen~

"Yugi, Yugi!" Yugi faintly heard a familiar voice calling, but it was hard to identify the person, as his head hurt too much to think.

Groggily, he opened his eyes to look into the worried faces of Jou, Shizuku, and the priest Seth. "W-what happened?" He asked weakly.

"You fainted, that's what!" Jou shouted.

Yugi winced at the loud noise, as it made his head pound.

Seth, seeing the pained look, tried to calm Jou down. "Sorry, Yugi, but he was a little anxious for you." he apologized. To Jou, he hissed, "Shut up, you're making him worse!"

Jou humphed.

Shizuku asked in a concerned voice, "What happened, Yugi? Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine, don't worry. Thanks guys, but I'll be okay." Yugi smiled the best he could. He didn't want to burden anyone with his own problems.

"If you say so..." Jou said, though his tone clearly revealed his disbelief.

Seth shrugged. "Well, if he says he's okay, then don't bother him." He walked off, probably to look after his baby brother Mokuba.

After everyone had left, Yugi sat down on his bed. 'What just happened there? What was that dream about?'

Yugi remembered the dark shadow, and the bleak feeling it caused Yugi to experience. Shivering, Yugi said to himself, "Maybe I should tell Yami. Something tells me these two dreams are connected. I'll tell him when he gets back." he decided.

*******************

*Three weeks later, Yami returns*

"Yami!" Yugi cried happily as he jumped into the arms of his beloved.

"Whoa, Yugi, easy there!" Yami chuckled, ruffling the younger boy's hair.

"I'm so glad to see you, I missed you so much!" The younger squeaked. "I have something important to tell you too."

"Great, but let me get changed. These clothes are dirtier then the filthiest camels."

Yugi looked the pharoah over again. "Why'd you get so dirty, Yami?"

"Oh, I had a little run in with a few rebels, but don't worry about them." Yami looked away, avoiding the subject. He ignored the curious look on his lover and just walked to the bathhouse.

****************

After Yami finished cleaning up, he met with Yugi in his chambers. "So, you had something to tell me?" he asked.

Yugi nodded energetically, still feeling quite hyper on Yami's return. "Yeah! Recently, I've had these dreams that seem so real. I don't know if I'm being paranoid, but there's this feeling inside me that's telling me these dreams are like warnings."

"Warnings?" Yami cocked his head quizzically. "Were these dreams bad?"

Yugi nodded again. "The first one was where you were fighting with Jazella. The second, I was being chased by this evil-looking shadow. But that can't be right! Why would you and Jazella swordfight if you both know magic?"

Yami shrugged. "I'm as clueless as you. I don't know about these 'visions' of yours, but if you get any more, tell me okay? They may mean something, they may not."

Yugi bobbed his head in agreement.

"Anyway, let's go to the welcome back feast Seth prepared. I'm starved!" Yami exclaimed as he walked out to the dining room, with Yugi following behind.

***************

"Boy, that was good. But man, am I full!" Jou groaned.

Yugi and Shizuku chortled. "Maybe next time, you'll learn not to eat five plates of food, big brother." Shizuku said gently.

"I was hungry!"

Everyone burst out laughing at Jou's indignation. "You're always hungry." Seth muttered.

"Hmph." the bodygaurd huffed.

"Hey, Jou, is it okay if I spend some time alone? It's not that I don't want your company, but I need to think about something, and a bodygaurd might be a little interfering, no offense."

"None taken. Sure Yuges, go on ahead. Call me if ya need me." Jou wondered off to his own room, complaining about his stomach.

Yami turned to Yugi, concerned. "Yugi, is something wrong? Do you want me to go with you?" he asked.

"No, it's alright. I just want to think about something. Thanks anyway." the boy answered cheerfully.

"Okay. Come on, Shizuku. I want to discuss something. I think I found a new spell, would you..." Yami's voice trailed off as he walked away with his High Priestess.

Yugi walked around for a while, deeply thinking. 'Another dream. But this time, it was more like a daydream. Why did I doze off during the feast? I wasn't especially tired.'

*Flashback*

~*Dream*~

"I'm almost there, Yugi. Just you wait until I get my hands on you." the voice growled.

Yugi called out in fear. "Who are you! Sh-show yourself!"

The voice snickered. "Why should I? This is a warning, Yugi. Don't you dare let Yami know about this, or you'll regret it greatly!"

~*End Dream*~

*End Flashback*

"Should I tell Yami? It is just a dream...isn't it?" Yugi murmured.

"Definitely not."

So deep in thought, Yugi didn't notice the person standing in front of him, until she had spoken up.

Jerking his head up, Yugi gasped as he recognized the face.

Terrified, Yugi could only whisper the accursed person's name, the person he now knew was the same one who sent him those warnings in his dreams. The person who still gave him nightmares from time to time.

"Jazella."
